Farming first: why FarmOS starts with MoGro+

A useful platform starts with a specific job. For Amanzi Data, that job is helping Amanzi Life build a clearer evidence base around MoGro+.

One product programme. A connected record.

MoGro+ is a moringa-leaf-derived biostimulant in development through Amanzi Life. FarmOS is the platform Amanzi Data is developing to support that work: a place to connect the trial, the product batch, the application and the observations that follow.

Our first domain is farming because the product and the evidence need to develop together. A result without its context is difficult to interpret. A field observation becomes more useful when we can trace the conditions in which it was made.

Amanzi Life

The product and biology

MoGro+ development, cultivation and production learning, and the questions to investigate in the field.

Amanzi Data

The information foundation

FarmOS, shared records, traceability and the analytical foundations for reviewing evidence.

Start with the record before the recommendation

  1. ObserveDefine the trial and capture the field context.
  2. TraceLink product batches and application records.
  3. MeasureKeep outcomes connected to the protocol.
  4. ReviewUse the evidence to decide what to investigate next.

Build around the next useful question

The immediate direction is a system of record for Amanzi Life, rather than a broad software offer. More advanced analysis can follow when the underlying records are consistent and useful to the people doing the work.

Next: follow the information from batch to field.
